Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog breaks some major news today with the endorsement of Democratic incumbent Attorney General Phil Weiser by his Republican predecessor in the office, Cynthia Coffman: “Phil Weiser understands and honors the office he has held the last four years,” Coffman said in a statement. “He is respected […]
A conservative Georgia news outlet calling itself Georgia Virtue reports on a letter sent this week by Rep. Buddy Carter, co-authored by Colorado’s own Rep. Doug Lamborn, cautioning that the legalization of marijuana could pose “a threat to the U.S. energy grid.” A Congressman from Georgia spearheaded the initiative to pen a letter to the […]
(Stand by for a new promo code — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Returning from a successful morning hunt at his favorite duck pond, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and a friend pulled into a southern Minnesota Hardee’s drive-thru for a bite on the way home. While awaiting their order, three cars surrounded Lindell’s vehicle from all […]
Every seat in the House of Representatives is on the ballot every two years, but not every seat will create a competitive race in a given district. In Colorado, there are two districts that were believed to be more competitive than the rest in 2022*: CO-07 (Jefferson County to Cañon City, roughly) and CO-08 (Adams […]
(So you don’t have to — Promoted by Colorado Pols) You get a sense of what’s coming in U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-CO) new book, My American Life, when the jacket cover brags about her voting to “oppose the presidential electoral certification.” And a blurb from Trump promising that after “reading her story, you will […]
[mantra-pullquote align=”right” textalign=”left” width=”55%”]If you can turn the entire event into a circus, perhaps people will have a harder time identifying the clown.[/mantra-pullquote] Congressperson Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert made a rare appearance at a candidate forum over the weekend at Club 20 in Grand Junction. Since she first emerged onto the political scene in 2020, Boebert […]
UPDATE: But wait, there’s more! Because of course there’s more! Can’t make this up: Joe O’Dea’s defense of his voting for the 2020 ballot measure on abortion that did not have exceptions for rape or incest was that he didn’t write it, he just voted for it #cosen #copolitics pic.twitter.com/fTMC7aRal7 — danny (@dabbs346) September 9, […]
The latest fundraising figures for state races were released earlier this week, and most of the news for Republicans was pretty grim. Take a look at the cash-on-hand (COH) numbers for Republicans in the top four state races in 2018 compared to 2022: These are not good numbers, but perhaps Colorado Republicans can feel […]
Republican gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl filed her latest campaign finance report on Tuesday, and it was as underwhelming as everything else she has done since launching her bid for Governor last September. Through Sept. 6, 2022, Ganahl has raised $1.6 million, loaned her campaign $250k, and spent about $1.6 million in total. She enters […]
UPDATE: Filings from Senate Leadership Fund confirm the bad news for Joe O’Dea: —– Ballots will begin arriving in the mailboxes of Colorado voters in about six weeks. Little-known Republican Senate candidate Joe O’Dea is in desperate need of a cash infusion from national Republicans if he is going to get his name and face […]
UPDATE: Greg Sargent of The Washington Post sums up the conundrum for “MAGA Republicans: Republicans are in a rage over President Biden’s speech in Philadelphia, in which he flatly declared that the American democratic experiment is in serious danger due to Donald Trump and the Republicans who remain allied with his political project. So here’s […]
There are 68 days left until Election Day on Nov. 8. That’s not a lot of time left to make your case to voters, but that number is deceiving for elections in Colorado; because Colorado is a mail-ballot state, there are now only 6 weeks remaining until voters start to find ballots in their mailboxes. […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel reports: Prosecutors have concluded their investigation into Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters and intend to ask for a trial date at a hearing next Wednesday. In a press release Tuesday, 21st Judicial District Attorney Dan Rubinstein said his office and “the Colorado Attorney General’s Office have been engaged in parallel […]
It’s that time of the year in Colorado when politicians don funny-looking shirts and mingle at cocktail parties in support of the Denver Rustlers at the Colorado State Fair in Pueblo. If you’ve been browsing social media sites lately, you’ve no doubt seen seen the photos. Republican Senate candidate Joe O’Dea is among the candidates […]
As the Denver Post’s Nick Coltrain reports, the estimates are back on the cost to taxpayers and petition signature requirements for the threatened recall election against Sen. Kevin Priola, who switched from the Republican to the Democratic parties earlier this month citing Donald Trump’s war on democracy and Republican indifference on climate change. Secretary of […]
Republican Senate candidate Joe O’Dea hasn’t been gaining much traction against incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet in any important campaign measurement, but he has had some success in one metric: Picking up national press coverage. Unfortunately for O’Dea, that “success” comes with an asterisk. O’Dea has recently been featured in national outlets such as The […]
With Republican hopes for recapturing the Colorado Senate in 2022 dwindling after the defection of Sen. Kevin Priola to the Democratic majority, the competitive races up this year are even more crucial if local Republicans hope to in any way benefit from what looks to be a petering “red wave” midterm. One of those is […]
Late last week there were a handful of stories in Colorado news outlets about Republican State Sen. Dennis Hisey’s strange residency issues as he seeks election in a new district (SD-11) against Democrat Tony Exum. It seems that at least one notable Republican in El Paso County is very concerned about how this might play […]
Republican State Sen. Dennis Hisey is all over the place…literally. And it looks like he may have broken the law as a result. As Marianne Goodland reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette, Hisey appears to have been playing musical residences in an effort to maintain his eligibility to remain a candidate for Senate District 11 […]
There is no group of people who know how to make a bad situation worse like Colorado Republicans. On Wednesday, Colorado Republicans announced that they had formally begun the process to recall State Sen. Kevin Priola from office for reasons that have nothing to do with policy and everything to do with partisanship. On Monday, […]
As the Colorado Springs Gazette’s Marianne Goodland reports, a number of local elected officials and candidates were in Steamboat Springs yesterday to confer, converse, and otherwise hob-knob with the eminent and sagely buffaloes of the Colorado Water Congress. With the West in the grip of historic drought and the effects of human-caused climate change increasingly […]
UPDATE #4: Senate President Steve Fenberg rolls out the welcome mat: Today, Senator Kevin Priola chose his constituents and Colorado’s future over partisan politics. Senator Priola has made it clear that the people of Colorado deserve leaders who will boldly take action against the most serious threats facing our country today. Instead of bowing to […]
UPDATE #2: Joe O’Dea kept digging in an interview today with KOA radio host Mandy Connell: MANDY CONNELL: I love that attitude. And I think it’s the right attitude. I have two follow up questions on abortion, because I want this issue, like buttoned up to be perfectly honest, I want to know everything. How […]
Yesterday, Cook Political Report updated their election forecast rankings in several U.S. Senate races, including Colorado’s where the rating for our race was downgraded from “Likely Democratic” to “Leans Democratic.” It’s a change that left some heads scratching after a poll at the beginning of the week by Republican-leaning McLaughlin and Associates showed incumbent Democratic […]
